So what are we gonna blog in 2006?



Well...

  • Lot's more threnodies coming up, I didn't really do much there actually. I'll be lot more active this year. Soon (in a day or two) to come "Burn Burn Burn" and of course I'm dying again to continue the "Galactic Journey" series
  • A sharp watch on developments in Market, Business of course.
  • I'll write some articles about the future of me that was the past of me that will be the future of me again(from my perspective thus)
  • Future of IT. (Heck, guys at Gartner do it for 495$ a piece, I'll do it for free!:-))
  • Opine of course! Like a friend of mine says " An opinion is like an a***hole, everyone's got one".
  • I'll write more tech related articles {mainly Linux, virtualization [vmware and xensource mainly], Networking, Clustering, Storage, Oracle, and anything else that I might fall in love with}on my OraclePerformance blog.
  • Java too (won't promise much though, Ruby and RoR will be the development language to watch this year)
And anything else that I may have forgotten now!

Take care,

Tarry

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
